Ryan stood at the top of Tekken Castle, the top of the red-roofed magic tower looking down the mountain, in the past month, the battle-torn Ironfist Castle had been revived, and in the distance there were endless green fields, a large number of farmers were working hard, in the open space not far from the civilian area, Moses and the others were training Vivien's handpicked 1,000 young warriors, and in the blacksmith shop at the foot of the mountain, the sound of hammers could be heard from time to time.

The entire Emilio family has been put back in motion, and this time, they want to unify the entire Cassano Plains for their lords and their lords. In order to boost morale, Vivien did not hesitate to throw out a large amount of gold coins - the wealth that the Emilio family had accumulated in 200 years was definitely a huge amount - which was enough to drive the civilians who could barely make ends meet.

In this month, both Vivien and Moses and others are very busy, as for those civilians are working hard every day, the most leisurely in the entire Iron Fist Castle is probably Ryan himself, he only needs to patrol the castle from time to time, review the training of the army, and occasionally go to the blacksmith shop to ask about the forging of weapons, even if he fulfills his duty as a master.

Ryan looked at the slightly hot sunlight outside, and calculated that the last time he went out seemed to be 3 days ago, so he changed into a magician's robe and slowly walked out of the magic tower. As soon as his figure walked out of the magic tower, a little girl's voice immediately sounded: "Master, are you going out?"

Ryan saw that it was the little girl Barbara, and he patted Barbara on the head affectionately and said to her, "How many times have I said that you don't have to wait for me here." If you have something to do, just go and get busy, and if you don't have something to do, just have fun. ”

Barbara shook her head and said, "No, that's not going to work. My grandfather is now the head of the entire Iron Fist Castle, how can I embarrass him? My grandfather said that if you were happy one day and taught me a few magics, I wouldn't have to worry about others bullying me for the rest of my life. ”

"Hahahaha!" Ryan laughed out loud at Barbara's childlike innocence, and after laughing, Ryan said to Barbara, "This magic is not something that can be learned casually, it takes hardship and perseverance, but if you like magic, I can teach you meditation first, which is the most basic thing for a magician." ”

"Yes, the master promised to teach me magic! The master promised to teach me magic!" Barbara was still a little girl after all, and when she heard Ryan's promise, she immediately clapped her hands and jumped.

Ryan saw that Barbara had a little misunderstanding of what he meant, but he didn't say anything, anyway, it is very simple to teach a magician the introductory knowledge, it can be said that if you don't talk about those theoretical things, you can teach the basics of meditation and comprehension of mana in just a few hours, only when the learner really feels the existence of magic power, can he release magic with his accumulated mana, and the person who carries out this process is usually called a "magic apprentice".

The magic inheritance of human beings may have a history of thousands or even tens of thousands of years, but over the years, it is not bad that 10 out of 1,000 magic apprentices can really be promoted to trainee magicians, and how can a trainee magician be able to release level 3 magic alone to be considered a teacher, that is to say, if he wants to be promoted to the level of a junior magician, at least half of the people have to be stuck at this level.

If Barbara can really be promoted to a junior magician, it is enough to show that her qualifications are one in a thousand, and with Ryan's current strength, she can be her mentor, but if Barbara can't even feel the power of magic, no matter how Ryan teaches her, even if she draws thousands of magic scrolls, what's the point?

Ryan watched Barbara happily run away, smiled in his heart, he discerned the direction a little, and began to walk down the mountain. Along the way, Ryan met many servants and guards of the Iron Fist Castle, all of whom stood respectfully on the side of the road and saluted Ryan, and only when Ryan was far away did he get busy again.

After coming to the foot of the mountain, Ryan first chose to go to the blacksmith shop to have a look, the warehouse of the Iron Fist Castle also stored a lot of weapons, but the armor was obviously insufficient, so at Vivien's request, several blacksmith shops in the Iron Fist Castle worked day and night to make armor, and also spent a lot of money to buy a batch of stainless steel, which Vivien was going to use to build weapons and armor for her personal guards.

Seeing that the master was coming, the busy young men in the blacksmith shop just nodded slightly to Ryan to salute, which was repeatedly requested by Ryan, and they couldn't be like those servants outside, who dropped the hot iron and half-knelt on the ground when they saw Ryan coming, right? Ryan waved his hand casually, signaling everyone to be busy on their own and not to be distracted, and then walked towards Martin, the owner of the blacksmith shop.

Martin is a middle-aged man about forty years old, he ** the upper body, is holding a giant hammer to smash a large piece of steel, he wants to slowly smash these steel into thin sheets, and then use animal tendons to string together, and then pad animal skin as a lining, this is the simplest scale armor.

Of course, if you just make ordinary scale armor, there is no need to use expensive steel, this total of 50 sets of scale armor is customized for Vivien's personal guards, and their biggest feature is that a large area is reserved on the surface of the armor, which is intended for Ryan to draw a simple magic circle on it.

Martin concentrated on what he was doing, and he didn't hear of Ryan's arrival behind him, until Martin forged the entire piece of steel armor to pass, then he put down the giant hammer with satisfaction, and the junior apprentice standing next to him immediately brought him a large bucket of water, and at the same time whispered in his master's ear: "The master is here." ”

Martin was stunned, holding the bucket in his hand, but his body quickly turned around, and when he saw Ryan standing behind him, Martin was about to step forward to greet him, but Ryan spoke before him: "I'm fine, you drink water first." ”

Martin felt that he was hungry and thirsty, he held his breath, swept the water in the bucket in a big gulp, and then burped with satisfaction, walked up to Ryan and said, "Master, you are here." ”

Ryan nodded at Martin and asked, "Are all the materials for these scale armors ready?"

Martin silently calculated in his heart, and replied: "There are still a few pairs left, I will rush to work tonight, and it will be completed tomorrow morning." ”

"Don't worry, after all, you have been working hard during this time, you should spend more time and try to arrange for everyone to change shifts and rest, if you are tired, it is not good. Ryan smiled and said, "I still have ten scales on hand that I don't need to attach to the magic array, and the 20 on your side don't matter if it's a few days late." As for Vivian's urgency, it is also because their training is about to come to an end, and they are going to teach those soldiers to use and maintain weapons and equipment, and then they will conduct actual combat drills. ”

"Okay. Martin didn't say much, and agreed: "The things on the lord's side are almost ready, I just took 200 sets this morning, and it will take about half a month to get 400 sets left, which may be a bit troublesome, after all, we are not the kind of large-scale place dedicated to making armor, and we used to make twenty sets every month." Although the armor we make now does not need to be polished and polished, carved with a large number of decorative patterns, etc., it is still a hard work to hammer the wrought iron sheet, and it is not urgent. ”

"Well, I see, I'll go see them train recruits later, and by the way, I'll talk to Vivien about this to see if it's possible to send some more people over to help. Ryan said.

Martin opened his mouth and was about to speak, but he forcibly held back. Ryan looked at Martin's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, just say something, why bother to spit out?"

"That, that...... Master, you're not going to make magic items, don't you, you don't know, I don't know, I, can we ......"

"Well, I thought something was going on!" Ryan laughed at Martin's staccato words, and before answering Martin's question, he looked around with his eyes, and found that almost everyone who heard Martin pricked up their ears, waiting for his answer.

Ryan waved his hand and said, "Do you want to see with your own eyes how magical items are made? This is easy to do, Martin, you bring a few clever apprentices to my magic tower tonight, I will make 5 sets of armor blessed with magic arrays for you to observe, as for the others, when I am free in the future, I will simply teach you some basic knowledge of magic like Vivien, such as meditation, feeling the power of magic, and those magic theories, I think I can probably still be your teacher, but I can't guarantee whether you can learn it, after all, I don't have the qualification of a magic guild. ”

Ryan's last sentence was already completely ridiculous, but the others didn't care about this, after listening to Ryan's affirmative answer, there was no noisy cheers in the blacksmith shop, but everyone's face was full of energy, dozens of kilograms of hammers seemed to have become a lot lighter, and the hot stove didn't seem to be so unbearable.

As soon as Ryan came out, he saw that Old Bill was waiting outside with a large group of people, and after seeing Ryan come out, Old Bill took the lead, and all the hundreds of people immediately knelt on the ground. Ryan was startled by this move, and he quickly helped Old Bill to his feet, and then shouted for everyone to stand up.

While waiting for the others to stand up, Ryan whispered to Old Bill, "What are you doing here?"

Old Bill's answer surprised Ryan: "Didn't you promise to teach my granddaughter Barbara's magic, master?" These people behind me have children, and they have the audacity to ask me to beg you, anyway, you are going to train, so it is better to let their children participate, even if it is just to observe." ”
